One signature. Three generations. A feud that bled across Indian Territory.

On a winter night in 1845, two men slipped into a Cherokee politician's home, found him asleep, and killed him in his bed. The murderers were brothers, and they were Starrs.

To understand why, you have to go back seventy years, to a teenage Quaker trader who walked into the Cherokee mountains with an eye for profit and a conviction that his own people were destined to win the land. Caleb Starr married into the family of the legendary Beloved Woman Nancy Ward, prospered on a plantation worked by enslaved people, and spent the rest of his life urging the Cherokee to give up their homeland. The women of his own family stood before the National Council and called men like him our worst enemies. He never listened.
